India-Tanzania are going to work for the collective good of Africa and India, said Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal at India Tanzania investment forum.
He added that India will partner with Tanzania in different sectors like education, skill development, capacity building, culture, energy, climate action, trade settlement in local currencies and in technology.
Goyal noted that India has offered lines of credit to ensure infrastructure development and ensure creation of utilities in Tanzania.
Tanzania is the biggest export destination of India in Africa and we look forward to making this another fast-growing story, he stated, "We can work together to ensure mutual food security and in the pharma sector and the new and emerging space sector."
Shri Goyal pointed out that the two countries share a rich history and our ties go back decades and noting that Mahatma Gandi learnt his first lesson in Africa, Shri Goyal said that there is a lot of similarity in our freedom struggle, we have worked together as non-aligned nations and that we have successfully decolonized our economies. He said that we now have important engagements with each other and are working from investments to startups, from the healthcare sector to business and trade. He added that there is huge potential and our business persons will truly make both countries proud with their commitment to make this relationship grow, expand and really provide opportunities for jobs and for entrepreneurs in both countries.
